The National Guard Family
Program is a Joint Force initiative that
serves as the foundation for support to
families of Army and Air National Guard
members. As the Guard faces unprecedented
increase in military activity and extended
deployments, it is more vital than ever to
ensure that families are prepared for the
stresses of deployment and supported
throughout the entire deployment cycle. The
Family Program acts as a network that allows
families to mutually support one another. By
providing families with information,
resources, and support, the program
strengthens both the unit and service
member.
